To sell to customers in the U.K. from outside of the U.K. you are now required to become VAT registered with HMRC and collect the 20% VAT at point of sale rather than the buyer pay import duties when it arrives here in the U.K. It can be done if people want to, Charles Ingley in New Zealand and Ben...

That is weird...

Why does Zaxon not ship to the UK ?

I checked the Polish Post website and there are no restrictions for the UK.

Would it be a SMR related issue ?

Yes, it is on the Sell my retro website for more than 1 week now.

It seems there soon will be a nice new hardware for our ORICs...

I was just wondering if the VIA is not the culprit: the ATMOS works but when something is connected to the printer port, then and only then an issue arises. That makes absolutely no sense to me, unless (as you say) you have a somewhat faulty VIA chip, but I suck at hardware, so... I will be sure wh...

I actually have different experience, but agree that differs from time to time.

Yes, I heard that some persons manage somehow to get an answer from Piotr.

As you may know, Piotr is famous for not answering. I had an issue with my Cumana Reborn before and with another stuff for my Amstrad CPC and I never had any answer from him. He makes good stuff but he should improve his after-service... In my case, I just have one Cumana Reborn working flawlessly w...

Thank you for this interesting feedback.

Sorry, but I was no clear in my topic: it is the Cumana Reborn.

Mea Culpa.

So different brands of CPUs and VIAs are not the source of this problem...

I will have to investigate more when time permits.

No, there is a genuine ROM.

(But I will replace it later with a Basic 1.22 EPROM as on my other ATMOS, using the Cumana compatible Hitachi HN4827128G).

Last month, I got another Atmos and this one was working fine from the beginning, so I had nothing to repair. :D There is just an issue with the Cumana: when the Cumana is attached, everything starts to boot when powered-on but the Atmos just freezes, no matter how many times I try. Even a reset of ...

Is that the proper part: https://no.rs-online.com/web/p/switching-regulators/7880604 They only seem to have the model without the bent legs on this norwegian shop, would that work on the Oric, or would that be too tall and definitely require the one on the right on https://www.tracopower.com/int/mo...

My monitor is a NEC Multisync LCD 1990FXp. NEC Multisync LCD 1990FXp - Manual HERE on page 16: nec-1990FXp.png Sorry for the bad news but this monitor is NOT 15 kHz compatible :(. Do not worry, it is 15 kHz compatible... I know the manual does not mention it (like all other MultiSync monitors), but...

Nice case !

Finally had some time to quickly check the Sync Striker with my other retro computers. And the result is: nothing on the screen. :( I saw a guy on the net using the device without any upscaler, so it should be not needed if the monitor supports 15 kHz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8jB8rAsz_8 And...
